Hesacon.8735 Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 10-100 to 1 for wvw rank so I can play fashion wars 2 with the T3 triumphant armor skins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malerian.8435 Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Could we maybe exchange 50 -75 tomes for a mystic coin? I have so many of these it is ridiculous. The only reason I hold on to them is in the hope that they will be somewhat useful someday lol. I do not need them anymore and I literally have over 2k spirit shards so...

Edu.6984 Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Either reduce the sources of tomes of knowledge or create a sink for them. How about 1k tomes of knowledge for a mini or an achievement/tittle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HazyDaisy.4107 Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Didn't they used to be able to be used for a world experience level, or is that just me remembering bringing uplevels in?Anyway, being able to exchange tomes for a as yet invented "world experience tome" would be nice. PVE has experience masteries (similar to our thimbles of wxp) for Core tyria, Hot and the POF, we're now up to insta level 50 scrolls if you've had a 5th birthday and they sell insta 80s on the BL if you managed to use or never got the 2 insta 80s that came with both expansions, but wvw doesn't have an equivalent to even get 1 rank in 30secs, much less 80 ranks. Seems like a fair trade off to me to be able to cash in the tomes we get in wvw for wvw... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerby.1069 Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Why would we need another way to access hero points? Already got proofs of heroics for that and pve madness.I'm sure you dont need that many alts with hot specializations anymore?Would go for wvsw levels. Although some of us have like 1000 stockpiled already.....so i don't see them doing that. Only way would be to do just new ones being able to do that like they did with the skirmish chests. But i'm sure that's too bothersome for them to even consider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jirayu.5834 Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 I need some way to spend this Tome of Knowledge. I like the idea of trade it to something else. Hero Point, WvW Rank, Testimonies of Heroic, Badge of Honor, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should not be able to buy a rank imo. Rank should come with time spent in WvW. I would say the same thing for PvE and PvP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean how many tomes can people really have saved over the years? Plus, something like this would make it possible for 2 man guilds to get the wvw guild missions.

Sunshine.5014 Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 10 tomes for a WvW rank would be fair. Allowing PvE people to boost a bit and get the glider skills will remove one of the barrier of entrance and improve the WvW population. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonesy.9728 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Yes, and let's make those little yellow XP bombs you get out of daily chests usable in wvw for wvw ranks as well, please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blodeuyn.2751 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 I'd like to see a vendor with items similar to skirmish chests: food, badges of honor, tactics, and siege. Because tomes are easy to get I don't think you should be able to use them to purchase ranks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I do think it would not materially hurt player sensibilities if 100 tomes = 1 wvw rank. The tomes are accountbound, so that limits players from just buying their way to 10,000. With my current stacks, I would get ... 4 wvw ranks if I could trade 100 tomes per rank. That is hardly progression-breaking.EDIT - I like your vendor idea, though. Add a tab to the skirmish chest vendor that takes tomes, for instance, the same way that different fractal vendor tabs take different currencies.

Lady Deedra.3126 Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Consume all would be great. I don't really care what they do with them to tell you the truth. I have almost 10k tomes. For the record, you used to be able to buy ranks with laurels and badges back in the day, so using them for ranks wouldn't be such a bad idea. It would allow the low ranked people an additional way to gain ranks as you acquire the tomes very quickly in wvw. I am almost rank 8k so another avenue for them would be great. We already have enough Birthday boosts for levels 20,30,40 and 80 available. Anything besides spirit shards would be awesome. I would really just like a consume all.

Zephyra.4709 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 I agree with the notion of having additional uses for Tomes. As it stands now many players are drowning in them. At the very least can we please exchange them for blueprints? At least those go to use in WvW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R E F L H E X.8413 Posted October 16, 2017 Author Share Posted October 16, 2017 We have no way to train elites on a character doing spvp only but we can with wvw only (still requiring play in wvw without spec). Tomes can be earned in spvp and then used as a hero point conversion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
